Mr. Dare was looking gloomy, and an- nounced his departure that day for London ; Dora’s bud of a mouth was more closely shut than ever; Charlie \Vynne had something of a hang-dog air, but seemed to have acquired a new respect for the “ New Zea: land fellow,” with whom he presently went out shooting on the most amicable terms. ' Angus had a few words with his cousin before he left. . " Kitty," he slid in his low (:9an vmce, “ I am going away without finishing the portrait, and I do not think I shall return until your year of probation‘is at an end. I cannot endure this state of things any lon er." kitty did not look up from her embroid- cr . 5!‘ If you mean about Mr. \Voods‘ock," she said, colorin ' deeply, ” perhaps I alight to tell you that Ihnvc given it up. I have been behaving disgrucefully. I don’t- mean to go on acting on untrutll any longer.” Mr. Doro did not answer immediately. He drew a little nearer, and bent low over the girl's drooping head. “Perhaps you are right,” he said then “Mr. “Woodstock seems to be There is no tell- "What do you mean I" asked Miss Mur- joribnnks curtly. “ I nicau"â€"-in the some carefully-modul- quite on the cards that Mr. \Voodstock may say ‘ No ’ ; and it might be as well if you took that point into consideration bolero making your own final decision." “ That is what you advise ‘.'" asked Kitty, curtl again. ” merely offer the suggestion. I do not venture to advise you. I feel "â€"his musical voice can 0 a whis crâ€"” that I am myself too deeply interestel in the result.” There was absolute silence on Miss Mar- joribank's part. “Do not misunderstand mo, Kitty," pleaded her cousin tenderly ; “and promise that you will not quite forget me while I am away." “ I do not forget so easily, returned Kitty quietly. She thought, with a kind of wonder, that she could not even feel angry with this man whom she had once imagined that she loved. “ “'hen will you come back 2" she added. “ On the day before the eventful twenty- filth of October, I hope," replied Mr. De re. " It is a long time to be banished from your presence, Kitty. Pity me for doing what I conceive to be my duty, rather than fulfil my heart's desire." " Good-bye till October," said Kitty, ris- ing, as he showed no intention of ending the interview. She held out her hand, which Angus seiz- ed. For an instant, it seemed as if he would repeat the piece of audacity of which ho had once before been guilty ; but Kitty, drawing herself up, looking him steadily in the eyes without saying it word, and he had the grace to change color as he took his leave. Kitty drew a long breath when the door closed behind her cousin. “I shall not feel wicked any longer when he is gone," she thought wistfully. " I was ashamed to be good while he was here." The limo that followed was, in spite of many sccrct doubts and pains, an extremely bop y one to Kitty Marjoribanhs. Nervous- ly siio counted the months as they flow by, wishin vainly that she could hold them back, t at uncle .laspcr‘s will had raid five years instead of one, that there need never beany ueg question of umncy to break in upon the charm of their pleasant lifc at Sonthlands. And yet Stephen had not given her the faintest reason for supposing that be cared for her as she cared for him ; for she did cars for himâ€"Kitty knew that now beyond all shadow of doubt-not with the feverish lane ', born of flattered vanity and vague childish ytarnings, which she had felt dur‘ ing the spice of a few lnohths for her cousin Angus, but with a love that was so deep and steadfast and strong as to cause her more pain by far than plovaeurcâ€"thc love that a woman feels for the man whom she knows to be. and is proud to acknowlcda: as, her master in all things. Time was flying. Winter was over, and spring with all its dancing daffodils ; summer with its roses was burning itself slowly away ; autumn use at hand, and in October the decisive word must be spoken between Ste hen Woodstock sud Kitty Msrjorihuuks. h r. Woodstock's manner remained as u uietly inscrutable as ever. liven to Mrs. arjeribanks. for whom he had conceived a s ngsrd, he gave no hint of his inten- tions. lit: decision, it was evident, would not be made known until it was delivered into the handset the lawyers on the day appointed for that ceremony. The secret the day drew, the paler great poor little Kitty. and the more brightly her velvet-lurk eyes biased with the fever of her suspense and secret pain.

Kitty She was counting with terror the few hours that remained before her answer must be given. ' . She did not speak to Stephen until it was time to say “ Good night ;" and then, as he brought her candle and ii hted it for her, she lifted her great velvet k eyes to the young man's face, and he saw that they were full of tears. “ You are not ill 2" he asked gently. “No,” answered Kitty in a very tremulcus little voice. ‘ _ ” Only tired and a little over-w ought? ’ “'ell "â€"smiliug kindlyâ€"“ the trial Will soon be over: Courage l" “ You will be very glad," faltered the girl, bravely controlling herself; “and no wonder!

But even the happiest years must come to an end, you know, Miss Mar- jonbanks.” . - “Yes,” said Kitty faintly. “I wonder where we shall both be this time next year 2" “ Where, indeed l" echoed the young man, smiling gravely. “ We shall be better able to guess at that after twelve o’clock to- morrow. " O t ‘ O . Punctunlly at twelve the next day, old Mr. Smylie, the lawyer, was in the library with his papers. As Kitty- came in, bold- ing her mother's band and hanging her head.

His kindness sent a. little unexpected thrill of happiness through her heart. . “ I was a. very rude and selfish girl," she said, locking down. “It is you who have made me try to be better.” “And you believe now, I hope, that I would not willingly mar your happiness, Miss Marjoribanks f” " Iâ€"I don’t know i" faltercd poor Kitty. “ I believe that you are always very kind ; butâ€"3’ Oh, what could she say? Angus Dare was watching them. He ex- chun ed a somewhat startled glance with Miss J. etley. But already Stephen. having given Kitty .a chair, had left her side and taken his place at the opposite side of the table, where pen and ink awaited him, and the two formsâ€"one of acceptance, one of refusalâ€"between which he had so soon to make his choice. It seemed a very simple ceremony to decide the fate of two young lives, merely the signing and witnessing of one of those papers. Kitty’s hands trembled as she slowly unfolded both of hers and read them through from beginning to end. Mr. \Vood- stock looked as coolly imperturbable as usual. There were a few words of warning from old Mr. Smylio as to the irrevocable nature of the step they were about to take, a breathless pause, and then bliss LIarjori- banks and Mr. \Voodsmck took up their pens almost simultaneously and dipped them in the ink. Their eyes met as they did so. Stephen’s were full of n. “litflll kindlincss before which poor little Kitty’s sunk, and her heart beat fast. How lovely she looked, thc young man thought, and how sweet! her pnllur and agitation only made her fairer in his eyes. "I'he sun was shining in through the all stained windows and irradiating her hair and face and hands with rosy light. The charming wistful mouth was quivering, the great dark eyes softened and misty with tears. He could smell the scent of the mig- nonnctto she wore between the buttons of her pale-blue gown. Oh, if she-â€" Suddenly, as the young man sat, his eyes fixed upon Kitty, his pen poised over the paper, Angus I'Oee and crossed the room, and his shadow, falling across the table, blotted out all the glory of light that was squnsing the girl’s drooping bend. \Vith a. start, Stephen took his eyes from her, and, drawing a long breath, he immediately sign~ ed one of the papers. Kitty had already signed hers, and she sat with clasped hands and downcast eyes like one awaiting sentence of life or death. Her mother was standing behind her, and softly laid her hand now on her hair. " We are quite ready for you, Mr. Smylie," said Mrs. )lurjoribnnks ; and the old lawyer advanced and took the two papers and pro- ceeded to have them properly attested. Lower and lower sank poor little Kitty’s chesnut head when, in a breathless silence, Mr. Smylie proceeded to read each document aloud. She had known, she had felt for some time past, how it must be; and yet great blushes of shame were burning in her cheeks, and her heart almost stood still with- in her. For, after all, it was Mr. \Voodstock who had said “ No,"and Miss Marjoribsnks who {had said “Yes.” And Kitty was conse- quently mistress of Soutlllands and of the much~talked-nf hundred thousand pounds. 0 o w u 0 Stephen ll'oodslod; (a his Partner. \Vcll, itis allover, old fellow, and Miss Marjoribanks is, us she has a right to be, her uncle’s heiress.

It was more than she con (1 endure. She had not been prepared, in spite of some chill and secret dread, for the cruel mortification that had followed, for having it known to all her little world that she had b en rejected ; and, stung by her pain, the foolish thought came to her that she might find a. solve for her wounded pride in pretendingan indifference which she did not feel, in accepting with assumed coquetry attentions which displeas- ed her. And thus the girl blindly and wil- fully allowsd herself to be hurried back into her old confidential relitionsâ€"-or a sembl- ance of themâ€"with her cousin Angus. Mr. ‘Woodst'ock looked on apparently un-I moved at Kitty's renewed intimacy with Mr. Dare. Her mother was the first to re- monstrate.

Kitty shrugged her shoulders wilfully. “'hat was the use of trying to be good?

It was the only way in which she sought to interfere with the course of events. And Stephen did not seem to find the house dull, quiet as they now were. All their visitors had goneâ€"even Miss N ctley was back once more in the schoolroom with “the girls,” and Mr. Dare and Miss Murjoribanks were ap- parently much wrapped up in each other’s society. Perhaps no one know so well as handsome Angus how little substantial progress he was making in the good graces of the heiress. It seemed impossible to bring Kitty to the point. And all Mr. Darc’s very sufficient self-esteem did not blind him to the meaning of the girl’s caprices and moods and wistful, unnaturally bright‘eyes. She had fallen in love with the New Zealand fellow. It was a. pity. It was a chance t In less for himâ€" Angusâ€"in the game. Bu as, in spite of his loverof poetry and his romantic face, Mr. Dare was, before all things, a man of busi- ness, be determined that with a little auda- city, n little skill, Kitty’s very passion for Stephen Woodstock should be made to tell in his own favor. One day the cousins had gone out for a long ride together after luncheon. The weather was threatening and dismal; but, as Mr. Woodstock had been unlucky enough to advise Miss Mnrjcribunks not to venture out, that was sufficient to determine that young lady to do 80. Her mother had not interfered; she had contented herself with charging Angus not to keep Kitty out too late. The two rode on in silence for the greater part of the way. A yellow mist was rising above the distant fields and creeping gradu- ally near to them. Kitty shivcred a little, and thought that, if it had not been for Mr. Woodstock, she would like to turn back. The fire and the third volume of her novel would have been pleasunter than those misty leaf-strewn lanes, that dismal fast- falling dusk. And, after all, when they reached their destination, the Grange, a pretty tumble-down old place smothered in ivy, it was too dark for Mr. Dare to make his sketch. But at any rate Miss Marjori~ banks had asserted her independence, and had proved to Mr. \Voodstock that she would not permit him to interfere in her plans. The cousins dismounted and wandered about the old gardens of the Gran e for a few minutes. Angus even contrive( to find a few lingering chrysanthemums among the wcedy beds, which he brought to Kitty with a murmured quotation. Kitty shrugged her shoulders over the octry, and accepted the flowers with a very ad grace. “ We had better be gettin back,” she said. “ I am sure I felt a few drops of rain. How dreary the day has turned out i It was hardly worth while giving up our afternoon tea for this." ’ “ I am so sorry to have tempted you out," answered her cousin gently as he put her on her horse. “ Oh, I needed a good cantor l" returned Kitty coldly. " I should have gone out with Bull if you had not been here." Bull was her oom. ll r. Dare did not answer this speech, and the cousins rode homewnrds for some minutes in silence. The few dro s of rain were fast becomingashower. Tho *ovcmbcr evening was rapidly closing it, and they were still at least six miles from Southlands. “I am afraid you wlll be awfully wet," said Angus, with solicitude, “'If we can find a shelter somewhere, it would be better to wait till this shower blows over. “'0 might get you a cup of tea perhaps.” _ " No, no: I don t mind the rain i” cried Kitty above the rising wind. “ Only let us go home. It is nearly dark, and momma will be so uneasy l” list it appeared that her misfortunes Wcre not yet at an end, for Mr. Darn's horse and- denly fell lame, and they were reduced to proceeding at a walk. Kitty was half bev side herself with annoyance, as they splash- ed painqu along through the mud, and the rain pourc down as if it would vvasb them bodily away. It was evident that they must take the first shelter that offered. and find some quicker means of getting home. “ Was there over anything so unlucky 2" said Kitty, beginning to cry. She was tired and miserable and unhappy. “And there is not a house in sight. Are on sure we did not take a wrong turning at time? I don't r isc that pond there with the trees roun it." ' Mr. Dare did his best to reassure and en- courage his cousin ; and, before very long, a friendlyrcd light shone upon them in the distance; and they saw that they were at last within reach of shelter, though it was only in the parlor of a little roadside public- house. "Therc,”s.sid Angus gsily-â€"“did not I promise you a on 0 tea, Kitty! You see things are not so after all i And they will understand at Southlands that we are delayed by the rain." “ Oh, never mind the tea l" replied Kitty forlornly. She had been riding for more than three hours, and she was wet and chilled to the bone. v "Only find out how we can 't home. We must leave poor Douglas ere until to-morrew. Where- sboutssre we! Do you know?" They were some miles out of their way, they found. when they reached the red- curtaieed windowsoftbe "RoseandCrowu:" and Kitty. reluctqu coon consented to dismount and enter y little parlor, which smelt of stale tobacco. and was adorn- ed with gaudy chromos of scenes in the bunting-field.

She cart my inquisitive at the pretty girl with the agitated who wasrettless- y up and down and beating the skirt of t with her riding-whip. The lyoung lady declined all odor: of dry cloth- m .

"Come,you poor trembling little Kitty, don’t look an unhappy, dear, pray l Are you not safe with me?

" t is awfully unlucky,” he began ; and Kitty looked up, alarvned. “ \tht 3" she demanded breathlessly. “You must not care," her cousin ur ed gently. “ There is really nothing to be is- trcssed about; but I am afraid we cannot get home to-uight." ‘ " Angus !" The girl startld to her feet, trembling like a leaf. “ It ‘is raining more heavily than ever,” he went on; “and there is nothing in the shapc’uf a conveyance or a horse to be had here.’ " But it is impossible to stay here," per- sisted Kitty, very pale. “ What will momma think? What will every one think? Angus, we must walk 1" " That would be madness, dear. milesâ€"and in this rain i ’ “ Oh, why did I ever come out with you 2" cried Kitty, bursting into a passion of tears. “Look what a scrape 'I have got into !

And then Angus, drawing ncurcr, said in his low and musical voweâ€" " Kitty, put it out of their powerâ€"out of Mr. Woodstock’s power especiallyâ€"to say anything.” " 1 web I could !" sobbcd the girl. “But what can we do 2” She lifted her tear- stained face and looked up at him expect- untl , with n. gleam of hope in her eyes. “ hat can I do, Angus ‘3" " You can give me the right to take home my promised wife to-morrow," whispered Angus ; and he would have put his arm round the slender sobbing figure, but the girl drew back, her eyes blazing with indig- nation.

The teeth begin to decay in a certain successive order, the lower third molar being first attacked, then the upper, then the lower fourth molar, and so on, the incisors and thccnuino teeth of the lower jaw being the but reached. The opprr teeth are more durable than the lower in the proportion of three to two. The right teeth show a greatcr vitality than the left.
